Google Cloud had a major service problem that caused widespread issues for popular online services like Spotify and Discord. Many users reported problems, with Spotify's outage reports reaching their highest point around 3 p.m. EST. Google Cloud confirmed the incident, saying it affected customers both in the country and internationally. Although they found the cause and started fixing it, Google Cloud could not say when the problem would be completely solved. Google Cloud is a big host for internet services and is the fastest-growing part of Alphabet Inc., making $43.2 billion in revenue last year, which was a 31% increase from 2023. However, Alphabet still makes most of its money from Google's search engine.
